Well, there you go, Becky. Do it! I can't wait to join in on your meetings. Can we demo recipes so I can eat? JK!:)

Of course, she's putting you in charge of food and demos while she plans other things. :p;)
 
So are you convinced yet?;)
 
I'm thinkin all of our convincing put her over the edge!??? lol
 
Hey Becky!!

Don't you just LOVE all the support on here??? It is so GREAT!!!!!! I am with everyone else on this! GO FOR IT!!!! If you are working your business you will have NO PROBLEMS at all keeping Directorship!

NDA is AMAZING!!!!!!! I went in May (I promoted May 1st) and it was the BEST thing I could have ever done for my business! So how perfect to promote October 1st and then go straight there. It will be exactly what you will need to gain the confidence in yourself and your ability to lead others.

I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I'm convinced!

Now - I just need to get them all qualified and active by Sept 30th.....:thumbup:
 
You can do it!:)
 
I personally think it is harder to keep directorship because if you only have 5 and 2 go inactive or quit, then you lose it....so my opinion is make sure you have at least 8-10 team members- that way if any one or more go inactive you won't get the dreaded letter. Again, only my opinion!
 
You can do it, Becky!
 
Just so long as you are working your business (6-8 shows a month) you will have NO trouble! You do worry alot in the beginning, so a cushion is always nice, but don't let that slow you down.

I would recommend checking in with each team member as often as possible. Leave encouraging messages that you are cheering them on. Follow up with postcards in the mail or emails, which ever you think is most impacting, and more importantly really highlight all they will be getting by qualifying.....$100 pc bucks for sales and another for doing the 4 shows, 3 months of the website FREE, commission check...ect.

It is good also to have your goal in from of you so you can see it all the time. I had my goal at the bottom of my email and so EVERY time I sent an email I saw it, kind of like on this post :). Then customers, friends, and even team members would comment on it and show their support. Even on days I didn't think I could do it, I knew I was too far into to quit now.

I bought my plane ticket for NDA before I qualified too, that really motivated me to not give up!!!! Keep us posted!
